Vatican Newspaper Praises 'The Simpsons' - Sphere News


Vatican Newspaper Praises 'The Simpsons' - Sphere News

Clearly, somebody in the Catholic Church has been paying attention to the series. In fact, the paper goes on to discuss the show in terms of its theological viewpoint, too:

"Simultaneously reflecting modern people's indifference toward and great need for the sacred, Homer ... finds his ultimate refuge in God."

The idea of the Vatican newspaper taking the time to comment on a cartoon television show is pretty unusual. In fact, it has has all the makings of a pretty good "Simpsons" episode.
